I will presume you are using Kentico CMS v7. (The situation is different in v6.)

If I understand it correctly you want to add one more level of tabs UNDER Page tab. It is possible although I strongly don't recommend it. I would rather add a tab NEXT to Page, Design etc. by simply adding UI element CMSSitemanager->Development->Modules->Content->User Interface->Content->View mode->Edit. But if you want answer to you question I will provide you with it :) You will need to customize logic in 

 CMSDeskPage.GetDocumentPageUrlInternal(...)

The code file is located at CMSSolution\UIControls\Pages\CMSDesk\CMSDeskPage.cs

There is a switch with case "edit" - this is the place determining which page will be displayed under the Page tab. You will have to create one more layer of pages (frameset with tabs and content). You will also have to create JavaScript layer to ensure proper communication between frames. (Scripts I'm talking about are: tree.js, contenteditframeset.js, content.js, splitview.js).

Once again - use the UI Elements version mentioned above :)
